It rained today and made it a gorgeous day!
We have not had measureable rain here in June since 2002!
Sad news today. Our friend Thomas Gale was taken in a
motorcycle accident last night. Thomas's mother Ruth is in Utah attending her brother's funeral. Thomas was our neighbor for awhile. He's a little younger than Darrel. One morning he came down early, around 6 or 7 and said: "I want to play with anybody."
Today was Elder L. Tom Perry's funeral.
His booming voice and radiant smile will be missed.
Paul and a van full of teenagers left this morning for the Southwest track meet in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Here they are stopping for lunch at the Golden Corral in Gallup.
They look happy. I hope that food helps them race faster tomorrow.
With Paul and Michael gone, to keep from getting lonely Joshua had a play date with his friend Bryce.
Taking it easy with Skittles.
Watching a movie with Bryce and his sister Brooklyn
at Bryce's house.
I had a doctor's appointment with Tiffany and Dr. Caldron today regarding what to do about my arthritis pain. I can either go on another drug called Actemra or be part of a research study to test a new drug. I am going to go with whichever one I can do the quickest. Tiffany is going to contact Medicare regarding Actemra. Hopefully it won't take too long to get it approved.
After my appointment James took Lexy to Sears to have the oil changed and the tires rotated. He dropped me off at the mall and then he joined me and we had lunch at Kona Grill. I had the macadamian crusted chicken salad with honey mustard dressing. It was delicious! I could hardly walk so I took three aspirins while I was there and after finishing lunch we made our way to Barnes & Noble for brownies. Their triple chocolate brownies are my favorite. James carried my purse all through the mall for me so I could walk easier. What a guy!
When we got home Stacy said her friend Elska, (Bryce's mom), was interested in buying our house and would look at it next week. That would be wonderful if she bought it and we didn't have to put it on the market.
Seth opened his mission call this evening. I was hurting so I didn't go, but James did went because Seth told him he wanted him there.
He's going to Bogota, Colombia
and reports on October 21st!
Congratulations Seth!
Evan came down this evening and we had a nice chat. He came to see Joshua but Joshua was still at Bryce's. He showed me what Lego set he wanted and then asked me if I had any work for him. I told him I bet grandpa could find something for him to do. He is coming down in the morning to help plant new flowers by the mail box.
